BELT / DECK LUBRICATION:
Do not lubricate with other than DYACO CANADA INC approved lubricant. Your treadmill
comes with one tube of lubricant, and extra tubes can be ordered directly from DYACO
CANADA INC. There are commercially available lube kits, but the only one currently approved
by DYACO CANADA INC is Lube-N-Walk. These kits come with an application wand that
makes applying lubrication easier. Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals
ensures the longest life possible for your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between
the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic
motor control board, which could result in catastrophic failure of these expensive components.
Failure to lubricate the deck at regular intervals may void the warranty.
The deck comes pre-lubricated, and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 180
hours of use. To lubricate the deck with the tube of lubricant supplied, it will be necessary to
loosen the walking belt. Using the 6 mm Allen wrench supplied, loosen the two rear roller
adjustment bolts -- located in the rear end caps
–
enough to get your hand under the belt (5
–
10 turns). Make sure to loosen both bolts the same amount of turns and also remember how
many turns, because when finished, you will need to tighten the bolts back to the point they
were before.
Once the belt is loose, wipe the deck with a clean, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt. Apply the
whole tube of lubricant onto the deck surface about 18 inches from the motor cover.
Squeeze out the contents of the tube across the deck (parallel to the motor cover) in about a
one-foot long line, like toothpaste on a toothbrush. The one-foot line should be in the middle of
the deck at approximately equal distance from both side edges of the belt.
You want the lubricant to be applied about the spot where your feet would hit the belt as you
are walking. This should be about 18 inches from the motor cover, but you may want to walk on
the treadmill before loosening the belt to note where your feet land on the belt. If you mostly run
on the treadmill, the spot where your feet land may be different from walking. Once the
lubricant is applied, tighten the rear roller bolts with the same amount of turns as when you
loosened them. Run the treadmill at about 6 mph without walking on it for about a minute or two
to make sure the belt stays in the middle of the deck. If the belt tracks to one side, then follow
the belt tracking instructions to remedy. Now the deck is lubricated, and you should walk, not
run, on the treadmill immediately for at least 5 minutes to ensure the lubricant is evenly
distributed. If you purchase a Lube-N-Walk kit, follow the instructions that come with it to apply
the lubrication.
HOW TO CHECK IF THE TREADBOARD REQUIRES LUBRICATION
Lift one side of the tread belt and feel the top surface of the tread board. If the surface is (slick)
to the touch, then no further lubrication is required. If the surface is dry to the touch, apply one
packet of lubricant or half of the bottle of lubricant.
